Speaking of Asian American actors... According to The Hollywood Reporter, Will Yun Lee has signed to star in the indie films Oka! Amerikee and Hollywood Untitled: Will Yun Lee signs for two films.
Oka! Amerikee is based on the true story of Louis Sarno, an American ethno-musicologist who lived among the Bayaka Pygmies in Central Africa for 25 years recording their music. Lee will play Yi, a Chinese businessman, alongside Kris Marshall and Isaach de Bankole.
Hollywood Untitled, written and directed by Mun Chee Yong, will star Lee as a young man struggling with the aftereffects of waking up from a coma caused by a car accident. I really liked Mun Chee Yong's previous short film, 9:30, so I'm looking forward to seeing his feature directorial debut.
